The complaint alleges Lizzo stormed toward the dancer balling her hands into fists and cracking her knuckles while shouting profanities. Lizzo was restrained, according to the court documents, but Rodriguez feared Lizzo was going to attack her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13928974']Another charge accuses Lizzo of falsely imprisoning Davis in a room, keeping her there against her will until she allowed tour staff to search her phone and iCloud storage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two of the plaintiffs, Davis and Williams, first met Lizzo in March 2021, while competing as contestants on the reality TV show, \u003cem>Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls\u003c/em>, for a chance to join the star’s live shows.

Two-thirds of the way into the evening’s live telecast, she won her fourth award of the year for a total of 32 in her career, shattering the record for the most Grammys of any artist in the prize’s 65-year history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, she failed to collect any of the evening’s biggest prizes. Instead, the Grammys divided the general categories in a typical voting split. Bonnie Raitt won the song of the year prize for “Just Like That.” Lizzo took record of the year for “About Damn Time.” Album of the year went to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/531040090/harry-styles\">Harry Styles\u003c/a> for his album \u003cem>Harry’s House\u003c/em>. He also won best pop vocal album. “This is so kind,” Styles said of the album of the year award, as Beyoncé gave him a standing ovation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coming into this year’s awards, Beyoncé already owned 28 Grammys as a lead artist, though only one in the one of the awards’ general categories. She had nine nominations this year, and hit the new record just after 7 p.m. PT, when she won best electronic/dance music album. She cried upon taking the stage, saying, “I’m just trying to receive this night.” Later, she gave credit to her forebears and inspiration, adding: “I would like to thank the queer community for your love, and for inventing the genre,” referring to the house music that grounded \u003cem>RENAISSANCE\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faced with \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/01/06/1070849471/the-omicron-surge-forces-the-grammys-to-be-postponed-sundance-to-move-online\">years\u003c/a> of \u003ca href=\"https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/grammy-awards-ratings-2022-grammys-1235221012/\">declining and middling \u003c/a>viewership, the Grammys hoped to amp up the dazzle this year via this bit of history-making. What the Record Academy had clearly hoped would be an earlier, big live television moment was foiled by urban sprawl. Half an hour into the show, Beyoncé — who was reportedly late to the awards thanks to LA traffic — tied the all-time record for most Grammys won when she and a team of co-writers won best R&B song for “Cuff It.” The iconic musician and composer Nile Rogers, one of the co-writers on “Cuff It,” accepted the award for best R&B song on the team’s behalf along with another of its co-writers, The-Dream. The previous Grammy record of 31 wins was a feat set by the late Hungarian-born classical conductor Georg Solti.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several of the other nine contenders for album of the year had to be satisfied with other awards. At the beginning of her acceptance speech for her win for record of the year for “About Damn Time,” Lizzo said, “Let me tell you something, Adele and I are just having a great time here.” (Adele took home took home best pop solo performance for her song “Easy on Me.”) Lizzo also paid tribute to Beyoncé, noting that she had skipped school in fifth grade to go hear the megastar perform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/166009689/kendrick-lamar\">Kendrick Lamar\u003c/a> took home the Grammy for best rap album for his \u003cem>Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers\u003c/em>; during the afternoon ceremony, Lamar also picked up Grammys for best rap performance and best rap song, both for “The Heart Part 5.” “I would like to thank the culture for allowing me to evolve,” he said in an acceptance speech in which he also thanked his family and fans. “I finally found imperfection with this album.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another artist up for album of the year, Puerto Rican rapper \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/656561349/bad-bunny\">Bad Bunny\u003c/a>, opened the show with a colorful performance of songs from his album \u003cem>Un Verano Sin Ti\u003c/em>, weaving in and out of the seated audience alongside brass band members before making his way to a dance party on stage for a medley that captured the vibrant, infectious energy of the hit album. \u003cem>Un Verano Sin Ti\u003c/em> dominated streaming services last year and won the rapper the prize for best música urbana album. “I made this album with love and passion and when you do things with love and passion, everything is easier — life is easier,” he said in English while accepting his award.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a throwback to a very particular kind of Grammy-voter favorite, the gifted young jazz vocalist \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/1120541975/samara-joy\">Samara Joy\u003c/a> won the award for best new artist. The 23-year-old cried through her whole acceptance speech, marveling that she won one of the Grammy’s biggest prizes “just by being myself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the strongest performances of the night came in the form of a star-studded, comprehensive tribute to the history of hip-hop that followed a new “Dr. Dre Global Impact award,” given to the namesake artist himself by rapper LL Cool J. Organized by Questlove, the performance brought together some of the greatest names in hip-hop to honor the genre’s 50th anniversary this year. The set chronicled the entire history of rap, featuring early pioneers like Run-DMC, Rakim, Public Enemy and Salt-N-Pepa, all the way up to current viral stars like GloRilla. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We wish we could have included every single hip-hop artist from 1973 to 2023,” LL Cool J said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The show’s “In Memoriam” segment, honoring musicians and industry professionals who died in the last year, featured performances by Kacey Musgraves, Migos’ Quavo and Mick Fleetwood. The night featured multiple tributes, including Stevie Wonder honoring Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson by playing Motown hits including The Temptations’ “The Way You Do The Things You Do” and “Tears of a Clown” alongside Robinson. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The night was filled with a number of excellent live performances, from longtime Grammy favorites to newcomers to the stage. Brandi Carlile, who took home three awards for best Americana album, best rock performance and best rock song, returned to the Academy’s stage for a stirring rendition of “Broken Horses,” introduced to viewers by her wife and two daughters. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Lacy, who took home his first Grammy award earlier in the evening for best progressive R&B album for \u003cem>Gemini Rights\u003c/em>, proved his TikTok hit “Bad Habit” as magnetic a live performance as it has become in viral videos, performing the funky hit in heels alongside Thundercat on bass. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A brand-new honor called best song for social change was given to Iranian musician Shervin Hajipour for his protest song “Baraye,” which was written in solidarity with Iran’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/10/27/1131436766/kurdish-roots-iran-protest-slogan\">“Woman, life, freedom”\u003c/a> movement, and gained worldwide fans on social media. Hajipour was unable to attend the ceremony, as \u003ca href=\"https://variety.com/2023/global/news/iran-protest-song-baraye-grammy-amnesty-jailed-activists-1235514072/\">he has been banned from leaving Iran\u003c/a> while he awaits trial; the award was presented by First Lady Jill Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden also presented the award for song of the year to Bonnie Raitt, who looked shellshocked to win this year’s prize for songwriting; she had been up against other writers such as Beyoncé, Lizzo, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/728755923/steve-lacy\">Steve Lacy\u003c/a>, Kendrick Lamar and Adele. “I don’t write a lot of songs,” said Raitt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another history-making moment, 2023 marked the first time that either an openly non-binary person or an openly transgender woman won a Grammy. Both glass ceilings were smashed when Sam Smith and Kim Petras were awarded best pop duo/group performance for their song “Unholy.” (Musician Wendy Carlos won three Grammys in 1970 for her album \u003cem>Switched-On Bach\u003c/em>, but she was not yet living publicly as a woman at that point.)\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sam graciously wanted me to accept this award because I’m the first transgender woman to win this award,” Petras said in her speech. “I want to thank all the incredible transgender legends before me so I could be here tonight,” she added, shouting out the late trans pop artist SOPHIE in her speech, as well as Madonna and her mother for inspiration. After winning the award, the pair put on a fiery, provocative performance with Smith dressed up as a horned devil, playing off of the sinful imagery of their hit single.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the so-called Grammy “premiere” show, or pre-telecast ceremony, the Recording Academy handed out nearly 80 awards. Among that sprawling array of prizes, actress Viola Davis \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/02/05/1154671624/viola-davis-egot-grammys\">became an EGOT\u003c/a> — the proud possessor of Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards — Sunday afternoon when she won a Grammy for the audiobook version of her memoir, \u003cem>Finding Me\u003c/em>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2023 NPR.

The 23-year-old cried through her whole acceptance speech, marveling that she won one of the Grammy’s biggest prizes “just by being myself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the strongest performances of the night came in the form of a star-studded, comprehensive tribute to the history of hip-hop that followed a new “Dr. Dre Global Impact award,” given to the namesake artist himself by rapper LL Cool J. Organized by Questlove, the performance brought together some of the greatest names in hip-hop to honor the genre’s 50th anniversary this year. The set chronicled the entire history of rap, featuring early pioneers like Run-DMC, Rakim, Public Enemy and Salt-N-Pepa, all the way up to current viral stars like GloRilla. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We wish we could have included every single hip-hop artist from 1973 to 2023,” LL Cool J said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The show’s “In Memoriam” segment, honoring musicians and industry professionals who died in the last year, featured performances by Kacey Musgraves, Migos’ Quavo and Mick Fleetwood. The night featured multiple tributes, including Stevie Wonder honoring Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson by playing Motown hits including The Temptations’ “The Way You Do The Things You Do” and “Tears of a Clown” alongside Robinson. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The night was filled with a number of excellent live performances, from longtime Grammy favorites to newcomers to the stage. Brandi Carlile, who took home three awards for best Americana album, best rock performance and best rock song, returned to the Academy’s stage for a stirring rendition of “Broken Horses,” introduced to viewers by her wife and two daughters. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Lacy, who took home his first Grammy award earlier in the evening for best progressive R&B album for \u003cem>Gemini Rights\u003c/em>, proved his TikTok hit “Bad Habit” as magnetic a live performance as it has become in viral videos, performing the funky hit in heels alongside Thundercat on bass. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A brand-new honor called best song for social change was given to Iranian musician Shervin Hajipour for his protest song “Baraye,” which was written in solidarity with Iran’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/10/27/1131436766/kurdish-roots-iran-protest-slogan\">“Woman, life, freedom”\u003c/a> movement, and gained worldwide fans on social media. Hajipour was unable to attend the ceremony, as \u003ca href=\"https://variety.com/2023/global/news/iran-protest-song-baraye-grammy-amnesty-jailed-activists-1235514072/\">he has been banned from leaving Iran\u003c/a> while he awaits trial; the award was presented by First Lady Jill Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden also presented the award for song of the year to Bonnie Raitt, who looked shellshocked to win this year’s prize for songwriting; she had been up against other writers such as Beyoncé, Lizzo, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/728755923/steve-lacy\">Steve Lacy\u003c/a>, Kendrick Lamar and Adele. “I don’t write a lot of songs,” said Raitt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another history-making moment, 2023 marked the first time that either an openly non-binary person or an openly transgender woman won a Grammy. Both glass ceilings were smashed when Sam Smith and Kim Petras were awarded best pop duo/group performance for their song “Unholy.” (Musician Wendy Carlos won three Grammys in 1970 for her album \u003cem>Switched-On Bach\u003c/em>, but she was not yet living publicly as a woman at that point.)\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sam graciously wanted me to accept this award because I’m the first transgender woman to win this award,” Petras said in her speech. “I want to thank all the incredible transgender legends before me so I could be here tonight,” she added, shouting out the late trans pop artist SOPHIE in her speech, as well as Madonna and her mother for inspiration. After winning the award, the pair put on a fiery, provocative performance with Smith dressed up as a horned devil, playing off of the sinful imagery of their hit single.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Library of Congress also dropped a hint about its celebrity visitor, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/librarycongress/status/1574912334769840128?s=20&t=Bfr7x3jPsfloIXbxtYMNyQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tweeting a photo\u003c/a> of a sign with Lizzo’s picture and a piece of tape reading, in all caps, “flute guest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Clad in a shimmering bodysuit, she gingerly accepted the instrument and carried it carefully to the standing microphone a few steps away, remarking that “it’s like playing out of a wine glass, so be patient.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lizzo lined up her fingers and played a clear, reverberating note—then widened her eyes and stuck out her tongue in apparent amazement. She played another trill while twerking to the beat, as the audience roared. After that she returned the instrument and ran back to the mic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“B***h, I just twerked and played James Madison’s crystal flute from the 1800s,” she exclaimed. “We just made history tonight!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She thanked the Library of Congress for “preserving our history and making history freaking cool.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrie Arnold, who was in the crowd on Tuesday, told NPR that the moment felt like a celebration of progress, in a way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not often you see a founding father’s personal artifacts reclaimed as a symbol of pop culture and a celebration [of] Black female empowerment,” she wrote via text. “It was so uniquely a moment that could only happen in D.C. and … the audience took pride in that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The library later tweeted that the flute had made it back safely, thanks to an escort from Capitol Police, and hinted it will be sharing more from Lizzo’s visit soon.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Plus, \u003cem>Ted Lasso\u003c/em> actors Jason Sudeikis and Brett Goldstein won again in the lead and supporting categories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That wasn’t all. Zendaya, who won the award for outstanding lead actress in a drama series for \u003cem>Euphoria \u003c/em>two years ago, won again.

Perhaps most impressive of all, \u003cem>Last Week Tonight with John Oliver \u003c/em>won its seventh straight award for outstanding variety talk series, continuing to beat \u003cem>The Daily Show \u003c/em>as well as all of network late night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. People want to see new winners have a real chance. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s more an observation of public reaction than of the show itself, but standards seem to have changed for when a show has won “too much.” Back in the days when there were far fewer shows to choose from, it wasn’t until something racked up five or six wins—that pressure started to mount to get something else, anything else, up on stage with a win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, with so much out there and so much that’s good, even two wins for \u003cem>Ted Lasso \u003c/em>seems repetitive, particularly when there’s a show that feels as fresh as \u003cem>Abbott Elementary\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13917950']The Emmys are starting to have an enviable problem: Even when people disagree with the outcome of a contest, it might be less that a show is undeserving and more that there’s simply something else that deserves a shot in a stacked category. Even the great Jean Smart, beloved by so many over such a tremendous career and absolutely marvelous on \u003cem>Hacks\u003c/em>, might not have been the first choice of many people. That’s not because of her ability; it’s because this was a year where she faced opponents like Brunson, who is a new face, and Issa Rae, who’s been nominated for \u003cem>Insecure \u003c/em>several times but has never won. This is one of the reasons the \u003cem>Squid Game \u003c/em>wins feels invigorating—the show is new.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s one thing for a win to feel deserved; it’s another for it to feel exciting. Even a second or third win can seem rote by now, so bring on the new contenders, and we’ll be glad to see them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2022 NPR.

Their Greek Theatre show promises a tropical dance party under the Northern California redwoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13917882\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13917882\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/GettyImages-1062821540-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/GettyImages-1062821540-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/GettyImages-1062821540-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/GettyImages-1062821540-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/GettyImages-1062821540-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/GettyImages-1062821540.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The English indie pop band Superorganism performs live at Circolo Magnolia Segrate in Milan, Italy on 15 November 2018. \u003ccite>(Roberto Finizio/NurPhoto via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ticketweb.com/event/superorganism-the-ritz-tickets/11871255\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Superorganism\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>The Ritz, San Jose\u003cbr>\nOct. 19, 7pm\u003cbr>\n$20+\u003c/i>\u003cbr>\nSuperorganism’s songs bounce around with a hyperactive, childlike energy that unlocks listeners’ inner desire to play.

The Oakland-raised R&B star has spent the past few years maturing as a lyricist, and they’ve described their latest album, \u003ci>blue water road\u003c/i>, as a return to \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/mnlBRAV01C4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">making the kind of music they want to listen to\u003c/a> instead of satisfying the demands of the market. The more honest approach works. With understated, moody production and an emphasis on Kehlani’s gently raspy voice, \u003ci>blue water road\u003c/i> captivates with its vivid vignettes of “it’s complicated” situationships, queer desire, questionable decisions and budding romance. Even at a big arena show, Kehlani has a gift for connecting with their audience heart-to-heart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13917881\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13917881\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/GettyImages-1014882694-800x513.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/GettyImages-1014882694-800x513.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/GettyImages-1014882694-1020x654.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/GettyImages-1014882694-160x103.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/GettyImages-1014882694-768x493.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/GettyImages-1014882694.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Colombian band Bomba Estereo perform during the ‘Jungla’ Tour at The Plaza Live on August 10, 2018 in Orlando, Florida. \u003ccite>(Gerardo Mora/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://thegreekberkeley.com/events/bomba-estereo-221001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bomba Estéreo\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>The Greek Theatre, Berkeley\u003cbr>\nOct. 1, doors: 5:30pm, show: 7pm\u003cbr>\n$49.50+\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mainstream music world recently got acquainted with Bomba Estéreo’s glittering, neon-lit pop when they featured on Bad Bunny’s new album, \u003ci>Un Verano Sin Ti\u003c/i>.

As he began to open up about his grieving process, he received an outpouring of support from fans who also had something or someone to mourn—which, after the last two years, is a lot of us. The project illuminates one of Raj’s greatest strengths: finding life lessons in even the biggest difficulties and giving his listeners the motivation to keep pushing.

"content": "\u003cp>After a high-energy opening day, Outside Lands continued its pandemic-era return on an even more packed Saturday, with tens of thousands of fans flocking to Golden Gate Park. The genre-agnostic fest offered nonstop stimuli between the four music stages, culinary offerings, live art, DJ sets and other diversions. And with everything happening at once, it was easy to log several days worth of steps in your health app trying to do it all. Here’s who impressed on day two.

She might be the headliner of Outside Lands, belting out megawatt vocal runs with a full band and cadre of stylish, spandex-wearing dancers. But she’ll also tell you her thong leotard is riding up to uncomfortable places from all the twerking happening on stage. It’s this mix of five-star talent and humor that made her set so endearing. (At one point, she even came out dressed as the creepy doll from \u003cem>Squid Game\u003c/em>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13905558\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Lizzo-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13905558\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Lizzo-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Lizzo-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Lizzo-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lizzo Performs at Outside Lands on Saturday, Oct. 30. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Pausing to reflect on the pandemic, Lizzo told the crowd, “That’s what music is about, bringing us back together so we can grieve and heal and grow together,” she said before pivoting to a gag. “In these unprecedented times, nothing is for certain. Except that I’ll always have good pussy.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between sex-positive self-love tracks like “Soulmate” and “Boys,” Lizzo sang snippets of covers of Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston. These are artists no one should touch unless they really, \u003cem>really\u003c/em> know what they’re doing, and Lizzo did. She remade and remixed “Respect” and “I’m Every Woman” into her own versions, and strategically positioned herself as an heiress to a lineage of all-time greats. It was a bold move matched by her powerhouse voice. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13905564\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Rico-Nasty-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13905564\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Rico-Nasty-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30-3.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Rico-Nasty-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30-3-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Rico-Nasty-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30-3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rico Nasty Performs at Outside Lands on Saturday, Oct. 30. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Rico Nasty lets out her rage\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Rico Nasty’s early evening set at the Twin Peaks stage was a chaotic good. “Y’all got a lot of energy for me and I appreciate that,” she told the crowd. That was an understatement. As she launched into her rambunctious diss track “STFU,” rapping in the gruffest end of her register, people climbed on metal barricades and sprayed water into the air. The crowd pulsed up and down like an enormous organism—if the area in front of Twin Peaks was especially muddy, this was why. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rico turned her goth aesthetic up a notch for the Halloween weekend show, taking the stage in a red and black tutu and corset like a sexy-yet-evil harlequin. Dancers in inflatable gremlin outfits hyped her as she rapped hits like “Cold,” “Poppin’” and “Rage.” The latter, with the screamo refrain “I like bad bitches who be ragin’,” unleashed fury in the crowd like a modern-day “Knuck If You Buck,” giving the women in particular permission to let it all out in the mosh pit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13905560\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Reggie-Watts-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13905560\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Reggie-Watts-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Reggie-Watts-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Reggie-Watts-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Reggie Watts Performs at Outside Lands on Saturday, Oct. 30. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Reggie Watts fits dad jokes between beatboxing\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Comedian-with-a-drum machine Marc Rebillet had to bow out of his Sutro Stage set because of an injury, but the festival replaced him with another electronic music star with a sense of humor: Reggie Watts. Though taking the stage completely solo, Watts performed with the power of a three- or four-piece band, beatboxing, looping his voice, rapping, singing into a vocoder and somehow fitting in some stand-up material. Watching him, you get the sensation that his brain has a processing power several times greater than that of an average human. Oh, did I mention he has a four-and-a-half-octave vocal range? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watts says his sets are 100% improvised, which would explain some of the bizarro directions of his lyrics and monologues. He cracked the audience up with dad jokes when he referred to Vampire Weekend as Werewolf Weekday. At one point, he acted like he was about to perform a magic trick with a cloth but used it to clean his glasses, and then sang about how fans give him crap when his lenses are dirty. Ketamine came up as a topic several times—he told the audience to try it while laying in bed and listening to Brian Eno to “allow reality to reveal itself in its natural, unfettered state.” Not sure how many people took him up on that, but his goofy humor and rare abilities left big grins on people’s faces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13905576\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Vampire-Weekend-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13905576\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Vampire-Weekend-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Vampire-Weekend-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Vampire-Weekend-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vampire Weekend Performs at Outside Lands on Saturday, Oct. 30. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Vampire Weekend’s polished indie rock\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Vampire Weekend’s set design was like something you’d see on bumper stickers in the Berkeley Bowl parking lot: a big, hanging globe and a background of symbols alluding to nature, unity and peace. It matched the cheerful vibe of their jangly, hook-driven indie rock, which the mostly 20-something crowd knew word for word even though the band’s heyday was in the late 2000s and early 2010s music blog era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vampire Weekend was incredibly efficient and tightly rehearsed, with two guitars and a keyboard often playing in unison like an Olympic synchronized swimming team. The shekere and other African percussion instruments enhanced their clean-cut tracks, and occasionally they broke loose from their structure, like when Brian Robert Jones unleashed a Slash-worthy guitar solo during “Sunshine,” a track from their 2019 album \u003cem>Father of the Bride\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13905548\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"

The genre-agnostic fest offered nonstop stimuli between the four music stages, culinary offerings, live art, DJ sets and other diversions. And with everything happening at once, it was easy to log several days worth of steps in your health app trying to do it all. Here’s who impressed on day two. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She might be the headliner of Outside Lands, belting out megawatt vocal runs with a full band and cadre of stylish, spandex-wearing dancers. But she’ll also tell you her thong leotard is riding up to uncomfortable places from all the twerking happening on stage. It’s this mix of five-star talent and humor that made her set so endearing.

Except that I’ll always have good pussy.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between sex-positive self-love tracks like “Soulmate” and “Boys,” Lizzo sang snippets of covers of Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston. These are artists no one should touch unless they really, \u003cem>really\u003c/em> know what they’re doing, and Lizzo did. She remade and remixed “Respect” and “I’m Every Woman” into her own versions, and strategically positioned herself as an heiress to a lineage of all-time greats.

That was an understatement. As she launched into her rambunctious diss track “STFU,” rapping in the gruffest end of her register, people climbed on metal barricades and sprayed water into the air.

Though taking the stage completely solo, Watts performed with the power of a three- or four-piece band, beatboxing, looping his voice, rapping, singing into a vocoder and somehow fitting in some stand-up material. Watching him, you get the sensation that his brain has a processing power several times greater than that of an average human. Oh, did I mention he has a four-and-a-half-octave vocal range? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watts says his sets are 100% improvised, which would explain some of the bizarro directions of his lyrics and monologues. He cracked the audience up with dad jokes when he referred to Vampire Weekend as Werewolf Weekday. At one point, he acted like he was about to perform a magic trick with a cloth but used it to clean his glasses, and then sang about how fans give him crap when his lenses are dirty. Ketamine came up as a topic several times—he told the audience to try it while laying in bed and listening to Brian Eno to “allow reality to reveal itself in its natural, unfettered state.” Not sure how many people took him up on that, but his goofy humor and rare abilities left big grins on people’s faces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13905576\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Vampire-Weekend-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13905576\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Vampire-Weekend-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Vampire-Weekend-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Vampire-Weekend-Performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Saturday-Oct.-30-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vampire Weekend Performs at Outside Lands on Saturday, Oct. 30. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Vampire Weekend’s polished indie rock\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Vampire Weekend’s set design was like something you’d see on bumper stickers in the Berkeley Bowl parking lot: a big, hanging globe and a background of symbols alluding to nature, unity and peace.
